Description
Sweet, juicy strawberries filled with a light cheesecake mixture and dipped in chocolate—this easy no-bake dessert is perfect for beginners and special occasions.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound large strawberries
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips (6 ounces)
- 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup heavy cream, cold
Instructions
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
- Rinse strawberries, pat dry thoroughly, remove tops, and hull the centers with a small knife or melon baller.
- Melt chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until fully melted.
- Dip each strawberry in the melted chocolate and place them on the parchment-lined baking sheet to set.
- In a bowl, combine softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Blend with a hand mixer until smooth.
- Add cold heavy cream and beat for 2 minutes until the filling is light and fluffy. Chill in the refrigerator for 15 minutes.
- Transfer filling into a piping bag and pipe it into the chocolate-dipped strawberries.
- Chill strawberries for 10–15 minutes if the filling is soft. Serve immediately or within 12 hours for best quality.
Notes
- Dry strawberries completely before dipping to help chocolate adhere.
- Use room temperature cream cheese for a smoother filling.
- Chill the filling before piping for better consistency.
- Serve the same day for best taste and texture.
- Do not freeze filled strawberries, as they lose structure when thawed.
